On the location of Maedhros and Maglor

Something else I've been wondering about - someone I discussed this with elsewhere suggested to me that Maedhros and Maglor may have taken Elrond and Elros with them to Himring. But that is so extremely far north from the Havens of Sirion. Surely they wouldn't even know to attack those living at Sirion, if they weren't driven out of Himring themselves? They'd need to scout the location, find a gap in security, and even know most Elves were living there in the first place.
That leaves the question of where they would actually be living, if not Himring. I can't think of anywhere, except perhaps actually a very desolate Doriath? After all it wasn't the orcs that drove the Elves from there, it was the Sons of Feanor, so they could take up residence there - albeit with a guilty conscience. Or if Amras was still alive, they could have stayed with him in East Beleriand, as that seems to be comparatively safe? In any case, wherever they lived, Elros and Elrond grew up there. And I really don't think it could have been Himring, that's far too close to Angband considering how strong Melkor had got at that point.
